Federal ICE agents served a search warrant on a home on Hardin drive in El Cajon on Wednesday morning, April 24, 2013. They discovered and dismantled a technically sophisticated marijuana growing operation that included air conditioners, dehumidifiers, a Co2 generator, charcoal air filters and growing lights in the garage of the house. According to ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack one person was detained at the scene. A crew from the county wide Narcotics Task Force that dismantles these illicit growing operations took the operation apart and hauled the pieces away as evidence.
